WFH data entry/ admin roles

Hi, just brainstorming some WFH ideas...has anyone tried data entry from home? I've seen a few adverts pop up while I'm applying for PT office work and wondered how reliable and trustworthy the companies are. Has anyone tried this and how did you find it?
TIA xx

There’s always roles from the same people that pop up on LinkedIn every day. I’m not convinced they’re legit or why are they advertising new roles daily? I have been tempted but suspect it’s just recruiters trying to add people to their lists.

No idea why they do this but I got burned before by a supposed recruiter in my industry looking for someone to start straight away, I was unemployed and fit the criteria perfectly, she got all my details….and never heard from them again. There never was a job but for some reason, they like to collect people’s details.

If you can find a genuine job, go for it. But I struggled to find any. Or the requirements were so high (volume to be done) it was effectively under minimum wage.

Try the charity sector. Lots of wfh jobs there.

Check it's at a genuine organisation - a lot of these ads are scammy.

I work in public sector and we have around 200 people doing that type of work, mostly from home with 1 or 2 days a month in the office. They aren't advertised as WFH in the title of the job listing though, the details is in the actual address. Public sector can be good for this.

Please note though, you can't WFH to provide childcare at the same time, if that is why you are looking at these types of role.
